Measles
With info about measles cases increases I wondered if anyone had experience of being vaccinated against measles since RA diagnosis. I thought I was vaccinated as a child (pre MMR vaccine) but GP doesn't have a record of it.Thanks in advance for any info

Private Jabs?
Can I have
steroid
injections
privately? I've had a few over the past 5 years with varying results both into joints and in my bottom. I had a rheumy appointment last week and they gave me a jab to help with my pain. When I woke up next day I thought I was dreaming!

looking for a neurologist
Can anyone recommend a neurologist knowledgeable in RLS in the Bristol/ Bath (England) area ? I currently have a neurologist whom I rate quite highly but who cannot prescribe opioids as they are not on the formulary of the hospital where she practises. She has however asked my GP to prescribe Oxycodone

Menopause and covid
Hi. I’m 59 & post menopause for years now but had Covid in December and still getting over it. I’ve noticed that I appear to have hormonal symptoms and a pattern. I’m weepy, get blocked, feel slight ovary pain etc. Was wondering if anyone else experienced this after having Covid? I had slight bleeds

Pneumonia vaccination
Hi all. I have recently returned to Spain for the foreseeable future and managed to get my covid vaccination shortly after my arrival a few weeks ago. I had my flu vaccination in the UK just before we came out. I have to say that I have responded well to both vaccinations with no adverse side effects

Recurrent vaginal thrush- need urgent help
I had what looks like a vaginal thrush for the first time 3 weeks back. I'm 35 yrs old. My GP nurse saw me and suggested Canesten pessary. I took it but to no avail (also the pessary did not work properly) I went back to the doctor in 2 days and she suggested Flucanazole oral tabled (150 mg 1 dose) that

Shingles pain
I've had shingles with continuing pain. Wounds like a burn and a scratch are taking ages to heal. I am older, 66, and I know this can happen. Any suggestions for tests I could ask for and is there any point asking for them. Best wishes Fiona

Aciclovir as prevention for shingles
I wish to express my deepest thanks to all fellow members who have responded to my recent enquiry. There has been consensus in all replies confirming that prescribing Aciclovir is standard practice.

Covid vaccine decision time…
According to this article (link below) older unvaccinated people have been hit particularly hard by Covid and are greatly at risk. I read elsewhere that the last date for getting the jab is 31st January for all ages. I haven’t been vaccinated since the end of 2021 but I’m thinking it’s time to have the

Living with Long Covid but now Tinnitus too!

persistent oral thrush
I've been on an increased dose of prednisolone since August last year. I've started reducing since January (tried before with a flare-up). I also use a steroid inhaler for asthma (and rinse afterwards). I have frequent problems with oral thrush. Unfortunately the stuff that seemed to work best - the

Illness and taking T3 - something to consider?
just a thought I wanted to put out there and see what everyone else thinks… I am now prescribed T4 and T3 and it has been a bit of a life changer for me. Previous to the T3 being added, I was on mono T4 for years. To get out of bed and function, I had to have my T4 over range, whilst my T3 was scrapping

Most know the story. Something I can't figure out.
Most people here know my wife's story and went to the hospital with Eshauphageal erosion, but a typo on her Chart (Fibrosis vs Cirrhosis) had a dramatic impact. Doctors thought they were dealing with Cirrhosis vs NASH with Fibrosis. That was tracked down to a dictaphone error. In reality, two weeks

A new year, a new (re)start, and another memento from covid.
A lovely vrb asked after me the other day, and I realised I haven't posted since I got my ear infection, so here's what's been happening - or not! So, the ear infection back in November caused vertigo, which stopped me from running because it just felt too weird. I was just getting back from that when
